Interactive Data Visualisation - ggiraph with tooltip

p <- ggplot(data=exam_data, 
       aes(x = MATHS)) +
  geom_dotplot_interactive(
    aes(tooltip = ID),
    stackgroups = TRUE, 
    binwidth = 1, 
    method = "histodot") +
  scale_y_continuous(NULL, 
                     breaks = NULL)
girafe(
  ggobj = p,
  width_svg = 6,
  height_svg = 6*0.618
)

Tooltip - Displaying multiple information

exam_data$tooltip <- c(paste0(     
  "Name = ", exam_data$ID,         
  "\n Class = ", exam_data$CLASS)) 

p <- ggplot(data=exam_data, 
       aes(x = MATHS)) +
  geom_dotplot_interactive(
    aes(tooltip = exam_data$tooltip), 
    stackgroups = TRUE,
    binwidth = 1,
    method = "histodot") +
  scale_y_continuous(NULL,               
                     breaks = NULL)
girafe(
  ggobj = p,
  width_svg = 8,
  height_svg = 8*0.618
)

Tooltip - Customizing style

tooltip_css <- "background-color:white; #<<
font-style:bold; color:black;" #<<

p <- ggplot(data=exam_data, 
       aes(x = MATHS)) +
  geom_dotplot_interactive(              
    aes(tooltip = ID),                   
    stackgroups = TRUE,                  
    binwidth = 1,                        
    method = "histodot") +               
  scale_y_continuous(NULL,               
                     breaks = NULL)
girafe(                                  
  ggobj = p,                             
  width_svg = 6,                         
  height_svg = 6*0.618,
  options = list(    #<<
    opts_tooltip(    #<<
      css = tooltip_css)) #<<
)                                    

Tooltip - Displaying statistics

tooltip <- function(y, ymax, accuracy = .01) {
  mean <- scales::number(y, accuracy = accuracy)
  sem <- scales::number(ymax - y, accuracy = accuracy)
  paste("Mean maths scores:", mean, "+/-", sem)
}

gg_point <- ggplot(data=exam_data, 
                   aes(x = RACE),
) +
  stat_summary(aes(y = MATHS, 
                   tooltip = after_stat(  
                     tooltip(y, ymax))),  
    fun.data = "mean_se", 
    geom = GeomInteractiveCol,  
    fill = "light blue"
  ) +
  stat_summary(aes(y = MATHS),
    fun.data = mean_se,
    geom = "errorbar", width = 0.2, size = 0.2
  )

Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.

girafe(ggobj = gg_point,
       width_svg = 8,
       height_svg = 8*0.618)

Interactive Data Visualisation - ggiraph with data_id aesthetic

    aes(data_id = CLASS),             
    stackgroups = TRUE,               
    binwidth = 1,                        
    method = "histodot") +

  width_svg = 6,                         
  height_svg = 6*0.618                      
)                    

Hover Effect - Styling

ggplot(data=exam_data, 
       aes(x = MATHS)) +
  geom_dotplot_interactive(              
    aes(data_id = CLASS),

    binwidth = 1,                        
    method = "histodot") +               
  scale_y_continuous(NULL,               
                     breaks = NULL)

girafe(                                  
  ggobj = p,
